    There are bikes for handicapped people. And if cognitive issues are a thing, then cars would be far more problematic: crash a bike into a person, you get minor wounds. Crash a car into a person, and you get a death caused by the car driver (who sometimes gets off scot free).

    And if something is ableist, it’s cars for disabling you from walking/wheelchairing anywhere safely due to the stroads taking up all the space.

    This is not the best argument. You could sell literally anything for drugs.

    If you wanted to tackle drug selling, the following works better:

    a) helping homeless people to get a home, b) unemployed people to get a job w/ livable wage, c) and having safe drugs made by hospitals under strict controls, and used by addicts in controlled environments like hospitals.

    The last one especially is crucial, however paradoxical it seems. It’s because then they don’t need to buy from other addicts or the sellers (who will be very dangerous), and don’t overdose, and with the extra money, can pay eg. rent, groceries.

    The “just kick off from drugs” doesn’t work - if you ever have had an addiction, you know that it’s hard. It only gets easier to kick off if other bad factors in life are removed. Only then is kicking off easier.

    Now, let’s wonder about cars…

    This remark probably won’t convince you, but it can help for others.

    So, for groceries you can use a bicycle bag on the back of your bicycle. Or a bag bearer. Or a bicycle with an extra long back.

    For going to the next state there’s something called “grow more muscle”. I know obese people here who manage to bike that distance easily.

    As for sleep, that’s for a bed. But that said, there are bicycles with which you can bicycle sitting/laying in a comfortable position (recumbent bicycles). Some of them also look look cool as hell (velomobiles).











  • If it siegs, heils, and screams discrimination, it’s a Nazi. No ifs, buts, or copes.

    That guy certainly isn’t a run of the mill liberal/conservative if he tries to cop out his way out of that.

    Also, Jewish advocacy groups worldwide aren’t exactly a good one to consult – as they often have been shown not to be independent, but work together with Israel’s government, which has a habit of ethnically cleansing Palestinians, like the current genocide in Palestine. The victims are turning into oppressors there, and that saddens me – ideally, Israeli, Jews, Muslims, Palestinians, agnosts and all alike should be able to live together in harmony.

    That said, concerning Nazi aspects: assuming all other conditions are satisfied, you don’t even need to hate only Jews to be a Nazi. You can hate Palestinians and be a Nazi. Or queers. The original Nazis did that too. We were put up in concentration camps for being queer. And Musk hates those.

    And your answer is, “Noooo, I don’t think he was sieg heiling”?! Come on.

    You cannot be a good person until you actively work for the liberation of people, instead of voting against their rights. And reactionaries (that’s what I call ““conservatives””) do the opposite: they want us to go back to the Middle Ages.

    With due respect, but your opinion should be reconsidered immediately.
